I was thinking how much more donations you would get if you had these kinds of"personal giving" pages, where it's not just for events and people todonate on, but eventhe original donor would have their own portal.

For instance, at www.Heifer.org/Bones not only could other peopledonate to it, and"shop" for the gifts they'd like giving, they would of course beoffered their own site.

HOWEVER, if BONES goes to his own site, it would be a "shopping experience" likeat amazon.com- it could tell me what I bought last time, when the lasttime I donated was,where my purchases have gone, etc. You could do a myriad of things to make it a"Shopping experience" that people would want to KEEP doing. They might even seewhat their friends have bought recently (with everyone's permission ofcourse), andmaybe even send requests to their friends to "chip in" on promisebaskets and arks,or any of the other "high-ticket" items.

I really think that Heifer is doing such great work, and I hope thatthese ideas helpyou go forward in expanding your reach and influence.
